After suggesting that the Biden administration would not blame the Chinese Communist Party for the epidemic, Secretary of State John Blinken criticized the Chinese Communist Party’s handling of the epidemic as opaque, claiming he wanted to get to the bottom of it. In response, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian again attacked the United States, calling “some people on the U.S. side” “people who do not wake up and pretend to be asleep.
On Sunday (April 11), Blinken told NBC that the Chinese Communist Party did not share information with the international community when the outbreak occurred and did not provide international experts with access to research, and that the lack of transparency accelerated the virus out of control, leading to today’s unmanageable outcome.
Blinken emphasized that reforms to the global health security system are needed to ensure that this does not happen again. Such reforms include a commitment to transparency, information sharing and access to experts.
This must be done to fully understand what happened and prevent it from happening again, he said, “and that’s why we need to get to the bottom of it.”
On March 28, Blinken told CNN that the U.S. was unlikely to punish the Chinese Communist Party over the outbreak, despite growing “animosity” between the U.S. and China. Such statements have once again called into question the Biden administration’s weak policy toward China.
At a time when the international community is generally unhappy with the WHO’s investigation into the traceability of the CCP virus, Blinken’s statement that he “needs to get to the bottom of this” is another sign of a hard-line stance that has led to “strong discontent” from the Chinese Communist Party.
At Tuesday’s regular press conference of the Chinese Foreign Ministry, Zhao Lijian, in response to Blinken’s above statement, once again showed his “backwards raking” style of war wolves, using “blame dumping”, “blame shifting” and “stigmatization”. In response to Blinken’s statement, Zhao Lijian once again showed his “war wolf” style, using four words to summarize the U.S. resistance to the epidemic, such as “dumping the blame”, “stigmatization” and “politicization”, and said that “the (U.S.) approach is extremely immoral and irresponsible, and China will never accept it”.
Later, Zhao Lijian criticized Blinken without naming him: “You can never wake up people who pretend to be asleep. Some people on the U.S. side …… stigmatize the Chinese side. The international community sees this clearly.”
In response, U.S. commentator Qin Peng tweeted that after former Secretary of State Pompeo was called an “enemy of humanity” by the party media, the current Secretary of State has also become an object of humiliation by the Chinese Communist Party.
However, He Qinglian, a U.S. economist, replied that Blinken’s remarks were just old-fashioned and not tough, but they were the kind of words that many people have said, words that are “a thousand steps backward” from the Trump administration, and they all drew insults from the Chinese Communist Party, showing how much the U.S. national prestige has fallen.
